Please Help With Wheel Choices I have been debating and going back-and-forth with the type of wheels I want for months now. I first looked into the Evos and actually bought a set and thay never even made it onto my car. I ending up selling them because they weren't wide enough and I started thinking they were kind of euroish. I have since not been able to make up my mind. I've gone from Chrome ZR1's in 17x9.5/11 to Chrome Y2k's in 18x9.5/10.5 to Boyd rebels in 17x9.5/11 and Bonspeed wheels as well and I can't make up my mind. I would love a set of CCW 505A's or IForged Areos in 18's or 19's but I can't see myself spending that much money on wheels.
This is how my car looks now(sorry all my good pictures have been deleted)
It will also be lowered 1-1.25" with Hotchkis or Strano springs when wheels are put on.
Things I like: Chrome/ 5 Star design/ 295's-315's out back/ preferably 18's/ A nice lip on the wheels/ Less than $1200 for wheels/ something not overly played out/ Wheels that looks great on a black car
I know I wont beable to satisfy all the things I want in a wheel without spending big bucks, so I would like to get a wheel that sacrafises the least.
Please give me your input. I am getting so frustrated
. One of my tires needs to be replaced soon and I want this all figured out before I have to buy new ones.
I know this is ultimately my desicion but I would appreciate any input and new ideas other than those I have listed. Sorry for the long post I had to vent.
Thanks in advance, Chris

hard to beat the Y2K's for what your looking for. otherwise i'd say (flamesuit) chrome Z06's or the always popular TT2's.
personally i think the EVO's would have been pure badass, with the money you saved you could have the rears widened.

it sounds like you should look into the boyd coddington line-up. some say they have crappy customer service, but try going through a 3rd party that carries their wheels.
they are priced right around your goal, and come in many sizes.
i think a set of 18x8/18x10 smoothie 2's would look awesome on a black t/a.
or maybe some boyd blasters, as seen on whiterhino's car
